UN voted to partition Palestine on November 29, 1947, unleashing mass displacement of & lethal violence for Palestinians. In 1978 the date became the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. UUJME lifts up the recent #Kairos 2 statement. See bit.ly/3K0c7xi. #UnitarianUniversalist
Eucalyptus green background with a red poppy and UUJME dove and chalice logo, words in gold read November 29th - since 1978: International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. We amplify the Kairos 2 statement from Palestinian Christians in solidarity with all Palestinians. Read, reflect, act: bit.ly/3K0c7xi

Texas UUJME Chapters condemn Gov Abbott for labeling Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR) a terrorist group. We must side with all civil rights organizations protecting people and speaking out for Palestinian lives. Texans - take action: bit.ly/stop_abbott_now

Thanksgiving is a celebration for some, but a National Day of Mourning for Indigenous communities. Today we honor Indigenous people and urge non-Indigenous folks to reflect, learn hidden histories, support Indigenous-led work, and watch UAINE’s livestream: https://www.uaine.org/.
Thanksgiving is a holiday for gratitude and gatherings for many in the U.S. For Indigenous communities, today is observed as a National Day of Mourning—a day to grieve, to speak truth, and to name the continued impacts of colonization. We honor our Indigenous friends, loved ones, fellow UUs and diverse communities throughout this nation, today and every day. We recognize the deep impacts of American colonial history and present-day white supremacy culture, and are committed to care and solidarity in the continued work of truth-telling and justice. We encourage non-Indigenous folks to make time today for honest reflection—learning the histories this holiday has hidden, supporting Indigenous-led efforts for sovereignty, healing, and liberation, and uplifting the beauty and richness of Indigenous practices—today and throughout history. Consider watching the annual National Day of Mourning livestream hosted by UAINE at https://www.uaine.org/ .

“A secretive group founded by Palantir mogul Peter Thiel is planning to expand its influence in Washington, D.C. *** The group, called Dialog, wants to establish a permanent physical campus in the capital, where it can carry on its invite-only meetings involving major power players.” 8/7/25

IT’S LONG PAST TIME FOR CWA TO TAKE ACTION FOR PALESTINE. That’s why rank and file members and delegates are organizing to ensure our union finally stands with Palestinian trade unions at the CWA Convention next month.

Go to CWA4P.org for a full toolkit and to learn how to get involved!

As GA opened tonight, UUA President Rev. Dr. Sofia Betancourt named the urgency of this moment: As authoritarianism rises, how will UUs respond—together? What becomes possible when we align, risk, and act in faithful solidarity?

Join the conversation - What are your thoughts?

Square graphic with a deep red background and white text. A large light gray quotation mark is in the top left corner, and a matching closing quotation mark is in the bottom right. The center of the graphic contains a quote in white sans serif font. Several words are bolded for emphasis. The quote reads: “…Together, we have a thousand Unitarian Universalist congregations across the US — if we take ourselves seriously enough to align our energy and share our resources and learn and experiment and risk together — we can have impacts and influence in this moment far beyond what any of us could do on our own.” Below the quote is a thin white line. Underneath that line, in smaller white text, it says: “– UUA President Rev. Dr. Sofía Betancourt, GA Opening Remarks, 2025” In the bottom left corner is the UUA flaming chalice logo in white.
